Glacier Science and Environmental Change

Glacier Science and Environmental Change is an authoritative
and comprehensive reference work on contemporary issues in
glaciology. It explores the interface between glacier science and
environmental change, in the past, present, and future.

Written by the world’s foremost authorities in the subject
and researchers at the scientific frontier where conventional
wisdom of approach comes face to face with unsolved problems, this
book provides:

state-of-the-art reviews of the key topics in glaciology and
related disciplines in environmental change

cutting-edge case studies of the latest research

an interdisciplinary synthesis of the issues that draw together
the research efforts of glaciologists and scientists from other
areas such as geologists, hydrologists, and climatologists

The topics in this book have been carefully chosen to reflect
current priorities in research, the interdisciplinary nature of the
subject, and the developing relationship between glaciology and
studies of environmental change.

Glacier Science and Environmental Change is essential
reading for advanced undergraduates, postgraduate research
students, and professional researchers in glaciology, geology,
geography, geophysics, climatology, and related disciplines.

Dr Peter Knight was brought up in Birmingham, England, and educated in geography and glaciology at the Universities of Oxford and Aberdeen. He teaches physical geography at Keele University, and carries out research in glaciology and glacial geomorphology both in the laboratory and at field sites in Iceland, Greenland, and the UK.

"...this book achieves what it set out to do and provides a
comprehensive and up to date position statement on the subject
area." New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, 2007

"...an excellent aid to research in a wide range of disciplines
dealing with glaciers. It provides sensible facts and mechanisms,
and addresses its subject matter in a methodical manner. The book
will be a useful companion to any research student as well as to
researchers dealing with the complicated aspects of changing
glaciers across the globe. This outstanding book is comprehensive
and well edited." Journal of Sedimentary Research,
2007

"As a busy lecturer in Quaternary related topics, can I thank
and congratulate you for the work put into producing Glacier
Science and Env. change. It is a wonderful resource, based on a
terrific idea and beautifully put together. Many thanks for making
my life easier!" Dr Steve McCarron, National University of
Ireland, Maynooth

I was very impressed by the comprehensive nature of this
book...Overall, I truly admire Knight’s efforts and I
thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. John F Hiemstra, The
Holocene, 2007
